The
Magic Square is a Key with which we may interpret Symbolic Writings.
Any System will serve the purpose. The Siamese Method by de La
Loubère, (French Ambassador of Louis XIV, 1687), is one of the
best.

To
make a Magic Square,
start with figure 1 in the centre
of the top line.
Move in a diagonal
direction upward
towards the right.
Since there is no line above, imagine the bottom line raised thus:

in
order to place the 2.

Continue this
diagonal movement until there is no line remaining to the right.
Now imagine the left
hand line placed to the right
thus:

From this we
can go on to find the place for 4. Repeat to place figure 5. Since
the next square is occupied by figure 1, we must place the 6
immediately below
the 5. Continue diagonally to the right, placing 7, 8, 9 and 10.
Since the next square is occupied by 6, drop below as usual for the
11. Continue…

Thus there are three Rules:

a. When in the
top line of the square, imagine the lowest
line placed on top
and continue.

b. When in the
last
column, imagine the first
column placed last
and continue.

c. When there
is no
vacant square,
write the next number directly underneath.

The Magic Squares:

The Square of Saturn

3X3

“ “ “ Jupiter

4X4

“ “ “ Mars

5X5

“ “ “ Sun

6X6

“ “ “ Venus

7X7

“ “ “ Mercury

8X8

“ “ “ Moon

9X9

According to the knowledge of
Correspondences, everything is under an Aspect, ie e every prayer,
religion, country, word, etc.

Therefore we
must use the correct
Key:

Semitic works below Aspect of Moon

Typical Hebrew “ “ “ Saturn

English works “ “ “ Mars

French “ “ “ “
Venus.

The Use of the Magic Square:

Select in Holy Scriptures what we
think we understand, replace with number values, and thus find the
true meaning.

The Koran is based on the Magic
Square. The Bible is based, more or less, on the Kabbalah and the
Egyptian Taro.

Read the book,
“LOGICA
KURIAKA”
for the teaching of Jesus Christ. It is the notes of the Disciples
from which our New Testament is taken.

Read the
“SEPHER
YETZIRAH”
(book of Moses) on which our O.T. is based.

ref. SEPHER in
Hebrew is NUMBER;
SIFR (Arabic) is zero or nothing; CHIFFRE (French) is number; CIPHER
(English) is zero. ALL our figures come from ARABIA.

An interesting Study: The Mystery of 64 and 65:

Superimpose the
pieces of Diagram A (area 64), upon those of Diagram B (area 65).
Therefore
64 equals 65.

264 -1= 18,446,744,073,709,551,615.

This is the
Vibration
of thought,
the highest vibration to which we can apply any meaning.

Each Epoch, (25,920 years),
changes completely the idea of a name, even as it does the
Continents, because of the difference of Polarity.

Thus in
SANSKRIT ‘DEV’
was of God, Now ‘dev’
is of Devil.

Old American
Mythology
gave Ourigan as God. Now Hurigan is of Devil.

ref Ouragan
(French),
Hurricane
(English), being a great
storm(destruction).
